¹ Narration concerned happy green love beams and angry red hate beams.

From the stage1 moment
Harpua · Initially a Thanksgiving themed Harpua, this Harpua quickly devolves into a light themed revenge story centering on red and green light. ¬†Interaction with the audience (i.e. a glow stick war) and Kuroda's operation of lights obviously play a large part of this story, as does the incredible energy at The UIC Pavilion that night.

“TREY: Welcome everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a good one. I know I did. I'm gonna tell you a Famous Thanksgiving story. Now you probably know a lot of different Thanksgiving stories, but this particular story you …”

transcript: phish.in

This Thanksgiving Harpua included the first-ever Glowstick War, as Trey narrated a story involving happy green love beams and angry red hate beams. In the soundcheck, the jam contained Golgi quotes and the Sweet Adeline was Trey only. This show was released as part of the  Chicago '94  box set.

Bustouts and debuts are Phish.net’s gap on the row. Version rankings and “hot this year” are counted over the shows in THIS archive — not all of history until the backfill finishes — and lengths are phish.in’s timings. Rarities use Phish.net’s all-time play count; long odds are shows played since the song’s debut divided by its plays (see the rarity index on LizardStats).

Straight off the phish.in timings, longest first. What this can’t tell you yet is whether any of these is a big version — that needs each song’s own history to compare against, which is the next thing to pull in. After that: phish.in publishes a jam-start marker per track, so the composed section and the improvisation can be separated and measured properly. That’s what belongs in this tube.
